Tour St Christophe 2023 (750ML)

93-95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: “A killer bottle of wine in the making, the 2023 Château Tour Saint Christophe checks in as a normal blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that's resting in just 25% new French oak, with the balance in once-used barrels and a small amount in foudre. It sports a deep purple hue as well as a rocking bouquet of cassis and black raspberries interwoven with spring flowers, hints of leather, and a brilliant sense of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, with juicy acidity, ripe tannins, and beautiful overall balance, it's another riveting wine from this estate.” 5/24

93 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, "This group of Vignobles K wines under JC Meyrou have been steadily building in quality and consistency over the past decade. Well measured but full extraction, with a vibrant but inky plum colour, clear energy, some tight tannins and a high level of black pepper and clove spice. Cassis and black chocolate, good freshness underneath, with rose bud character. 25% new barrels. 46hl/ha yield." 04/24

92-94 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: “Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Tour Saint Christophe reveals a very pretty perfume of violets, black cherries, and mulberries followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper and cumin seed. The medium to full-bodied palate has vibrant black berry flavors with a velvety texture and great tension, finishing with a spicy kick.” 5/24

96 Points, Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com: “Excellent depth to this exciting St.-Emilion, with aromas of dark cherries, black plums, chalk and touches of cocoa powder and graphite. Structured and flavorful, with a full body and dense, chalky tannins. This is polished with fine, chalky tannins. Dense but not chunky or heavy. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes. Better from 2027." 12/25
